I work at a consulting engineering firm and write a lot of reports that are read by the public. I have an opportunity to recommend a different font for all of our written documents and am looking for something more modern/fresh than Times New Roman. Also open to recommendations for purpose specific communities about...
I usually go with Fira Sans for sans serif, if the document I’m writing isn’t super formal. Mixes well with Inconsolata for code and Latin Modern (or other serif stuff) for math.
Hi, I’ve got an old netbook from Samsung that has an old Intel Atom CPU (Intel Atom N455 1.66 GHz). I installed Arch on it and am now thinking of a suitable window manager. I tried Hyprland (kinda expecting it to not work really) whick didn’t start at all. Before I had Debian with Gnome, which technically worked, but...
Used to have an Eee PC running CrunchBang (Debian + Openbox). Really lightweight and simple (some potential for customization), and it was enough to carry me all the way through university.
I came to Lemmy after Reddit’s crackdown on third-party clients. Looking back, I’m pretty happy with how Lemmy is going and how it feels right now. The number of users decreased after the initial spike, sure, but it also stabilized at a respectable level. There are things I’m still missing, but the way it is definitely works for me.
The trick is this to have genuinely held opinions without publishing poorly written articles about it. I do that all the time, and I can warmly recommend others to try it, too!
You do get the difference between talking and publishing though, right? And the fact that not all opinions are worth sharing? The “whole world” was a figure of speech.
Followed by an automated email that reads “Would you like to participate in our customer survey? We are dedicated to improving the quality of our customer support! :D”
This is the actual “mildly infuriating” part of this post for me. Criticizing YouTube for pushing subscriptions on its users is 100% justified, but posting rage-baity screenshots of low-quality websites without any sources or context is probably not the way to do that.
Even then, Reddit has accumulated so much technical advice over the years, I hope I can still find archived posts this way, if ever it truly does crash and burn.
At least in my own bubble, many did switch to Mastodon. Those that didn’t are looking at other options, because the whole federation idea and things like home instances didn’t appeal to them or were simply too complicated (they want a service that at least hides its decentralized nature).
“Hotel Terminus: The Life and Times of Klaus Barbie” is an excellent documentary. It’s about Klaus Barbie, the “Butcher of Lyon,” who was a Gestapo captain in Vichy France and who later fled to Bolivia, where he lived until he was hunted down and put on trial in the 1980s.
Not sure if this is obscure or not: I have F12 bound to cycle through the low- to high-contrast versions of my color scheme so I can keep working when the sun hits my shitty laptop screen.

Eh, I love FOSS as much as the next guy l, but I still gotta say that LibreOffice (as nice as it is) is still ages behind MS Office, and it’s not even close.
The main competitor for Inkscape would be Adobe Illustrator.

I was being hyperbolic. In the billions of people who inhabit this earth, I bet there’s like two or three who genuinely like it. But they are crazy, and their opinions are wrong.
